Happy Father's Day, Dad

I finally got around to making my own Father's Day card for my Dad - nothing like leaving it till the last minute - oh, wait, that would be on Sunday morning ;-)

Stamps Used:  Taylored Expressions - Boys will be boys

Cardstock from Blue Edge Crafts

We are spending the afternoon with him tomorrow - apple pie and icecream - YUM!

EDITED:   You won't believe what I did - I left the card home when we went out on Sunday!!

For my Father

It is my father's birthday on Saturday, and we are taking him out to lunch on Sunday.

A very simple card - PSX image stamped with Black Stazon and coloured in with copics. 
Image background sponged before being removed from deckle edge die.

Creatalicious Challenge #1

Creatalicious_Challenge#1 have their first challenge up and running!

It is Fathers Day next month in Australia so we need make something for dad, it can be anything and it does not have to be specifically for Father's Day.......you just need to include the colour brown and some metal on your creation.

I was so impressed with the first entry, submitted by Sue, that I went here to see the instructions for this type of card. I have never tried anything like this before, so I thought I would give it a go.

so here is what I made!

Cardstock/papers: Brown bazzil, double-sided patterned paper

Gold stickers & sentiment, metal tools

Forever Friends image coloured with watercolour pencils, pewter paint used on some of the tools

The metal tools are quite heavy & make the card a bit unbalanced ;-(

I may have to rethink this one!

Here is a nice shot from an angle - shows the depth of the card a bit better.

I really enjoyed making up this card - the instructions are exceptional!

Thanks to Creatalicious for the challenge and special thanks to Sue for posting her card and sharing the instructions.

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge #35 - masculine card

I was impressed with the golf stickers that I had used in another challenge, that I went on to make another card with some of the offcut cardstock & papers for the CuttlebugSpot_Challenge.

Spellbinder dies were used in the cuttlebug to cut the rectangles. Each rectangle highlighted with border stickers, and gold golf buggy used as an alternative to stamping an image. Cardstock used was Bazzil Bling and DP.

I get the majority of my stickers from BlueEdge Crafts - golf ones are here .

Cuttlebug Be Inspired 36 - Father's Day

A new cuttlebug challenge is up CBI36 with a theme of Father's Day. Being in Australia, our Father's Day is not celebrated until September, so it is nice to get an early start!

Black leathergrain card has been layered with DP, bazzil bling cardstock. Cuttlebug has been used to cut rectangles & squares and to emboss the 'golf ball'.

Gold stickers used to highlight rectangle and to add sentiment. Golf buggy sticker placed on handmade paper and acetate and mounted with 3D foam.
